I'm not sure if this is the proper newsgroup, so correct me if I'm
wrong. I'm looking to get either a DVD recorder or external harddrive
to back up my 20-50 GB of photos and add to the backups frequently.
This device will be external and attached via USB2 to my notebook computer.

(A) What are the advantages/disadvantages according to the more
experienced utilizers,
(B) Which brands /models of DVD recorders are favored considering all
factors including price, and
(C) Which brands/models of hard drives are favored considering all
factors including price.

thanks in advance,
Jerry C.
